You guessed correctly! The default xterm font was too small.
So I had changed it before switching to UTF-8.

I'm using gnuplot*font in addition to xterm*font (the same
font in both cases) in my .Xresources, but gnuplot (x11
term) still misinterpret utf-8 strings as iso-8859-1.

I agree, and I use the default Debian configuration for most
things, but the Debian default charset is ISO-8859-1. Since
I decided to switch to utf-8, I had to reconfigure some
things (this is my home desktop).
